Stvor

Cryptographic verification for AI-agent payments.

Built Stvor alone, covering its cryptographic core, APIs and tools; added fail-closed payment verification and Ed25519 support after integration testing.

• Built Stvor around a simple problem: an AI agent can state one payment intention while a different transaction is executed. The system records the intention, checks the transaction, and issues a signed Trust Receipt. • Built the product alone, including the cryptographic core, REST API, TypeScript SDKs, CLI, browser verifier, key registry, authentication, rate limiting, audit logging, documentation, and test vectors.

Designed a post-quantum hybrid messaging protocol and zero-dependency SDK; published the work as IACR ePrint 2025/1713.

• Wrote and published Ilyazh-Web3E2E, a post-quantum hybrid protocol for forward-secure decentralized messaging, as IACR ePrint 2025/1713. • Designed the handshake and implemented a zero-dependency SDK using X25519, ML-KEM-768, authenticated identities, AES-256-GCM, and Double Ratchet rekeying.

Security Research

MorpheusAI

Identified two TEE attestation issues, provided attack paths and suggested fixes, and received a total bounty of 105 USD after confirmation.

• Reviewed the TEE attestation code and found two issues: a prefix-only GPU binding comparison and a silent fallback that skipped RTMR golden-value checks when the registry was unavailable. • Sent the team the attack paths, proof-of-concept details, and suggested fixes. The findings were confirmed and paid with a total bounty of 105 USD.
